Jeffrey L. Hutter, Professor and Associate Dean, Faculty of Science

I am an experimental condensed-matter physicist at the University of Western Ontario. Most of the research in my group is focused on the broad areas of soft materials and nanomaterials. In order to understand the structure and properties of these materials, we employ atomic force microscopy, video microscopy, and small-angle neutron scattering.

I am also the Associate Dean, Academic, of Science. For information about undergraduate programming and services in the Faculty of Science, please visit the Undergraduate section of the Faculty web site.
